Photoetch In Australia ?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 25, 2003 1:02 AM
Does anybody know of a good store in Australia, either somewhere to visit in Sydney or on the web for the rest of Australia, that sells photoetch sets for ships and even aircraft. I know of Sandle Hobbies, but I am having alot of trouble getting any information from them.....

OK AJ
In which part of OZ are you? There many good hobby shops which carry photo etch parts. Let me know and I will try some of the shops in Sydney. I might suggest Kelletts, Wings and Things or Hobby Co.

Hi Jai,

I actually Live in Blacktown in Sydney but I work in the city. I've gone and seen Hobbyco but they say that they don't have any Photoetch. So do you know anywhere around the city or near where I live that sell them.

I'm also generally after a good hobby shop with a good range of plastic kits. THe only that I know of which is any good if Hobbyco. I know of Frontline Hobbies which is good but they are located in Newcastle, but on the net they seem to have a good range.

Thanks for your help mate.

I live in Hazelbrook, not all that far away.
I looked up a couple of the Australian model mags and the best I can suggest is to get a copy of one of these. There severeal advetisers in ModelArt Australia that offer etched metal fittings. Quite a few of them are in the Sydney metro area.

g-day lads - l live in perth - you mentioned Sandle Hobbies, are there any others?. I've tried hobby shops in perth (all 4 of them) and they don't carry GMM or WEM.

I suggest you order your photoetch online from either WEM or GMM. If their sets get to the Philippines where I live, I bet they will get to you down under in no time.

That'll take away the walking and searching. Plus, you can sleep more Big Smile [:D]

While I was based in Canberra I obtained some photo etch from Question [?]NKR modelsQuestion [?] not sure of the nameQuestion [?] based at Ballarat in VIC If you check the ACTSMS( ACT Scale Modelling Society) web page and go to their links page I believe that their contact details are there. Their web address is:

Both of these suppliers do business by mail order. Hope this helps.
